NO PCGS MS 65 DMPL’s have ever been sold at auction. The current Collector’s Universe Value is $49,000. How do you value something there is no record of it ever trading? We can NOT overstate this coins quality and rarity. We value it $50-$60,000.00. Remember, it took 30+ years for this coin to surface and make it the 4th graded. That is nothing! This is a serious opportunity for the advanced DMPL collector to add a trophy coin to their set. Good luck! PCGS # 97207 | EST: $50,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM

While the mintage of 1,200,000 is not high or low for the series, the vast majority of these were delivered into commerce where they remained for many years. The typical example seen grades in VF to AU50 grades. The presently offered slider offers bold reflective luster in the fields that contrast nicely against the well struck, frosty reliefs on the obverse and a full, rolling cartwheel luster on the revese. There is a hint of friction on the high points and in the fields which defines the assigned grade. The eye appeal is certainly finer than many seen at this grade. PCGS 127, NGC 134. We think there is duplication and multiple resubmissions of the same coin hoping for a coveted Mint State grade. We sold a PCGS AU58 in our Regency XX Auction in January 2017 for $11,750 and two sold in March 2017 for about $10,000 each. This coin is more eye catching than those. The current Collector’s Universe price is $14,500. Keep in mind that a marginally finer MS60 would cost $35,000-$40,000 and would likely have many marring contact marks. PCGS # 7218 | EST: $10,000+206

LOT 431 207 $1 1892-S PCGS MS64 CAC The grand highlight of our magnificent offering of Morgan dollars, this coin was consigned to us after being off the market for many years. The older holder proves that. The quality of this piece is actually VERY high end. You can tell it sat totally undisturbed for many yearsRemarkable surfaces are insanely clean and smooth. We used a strong glass and found absolutely no problems of any size, anywhere. A moderate luster can be seen. We think all thatkeeps this coin from grading higher is its the “old time” totally original toning. The toning clearly is topical and is a mix ofdeep original white/faded golden brown color. This coin will fit into an all-white set. Miss Liberty and the details are sharply struck and do stand out. The eye appeal is excellent. PCGS 8, NGC 5, CAC 4 (with only 2 CAC coins higher). Thelast PCGS CAC MS64 1892s to sell at auction brought $94,875 in August 2012 (FIVE years ago)! The only one we have seen in the last few years was an MS64+ we bought last year for $142,500 (it too had original toning). We cannot say we have ever seen a frosty white piece. We expect serious and strong bidding from Morgan Collector’s. Once this coin is sold, its back to the typical retread MS61-62 coins that can be found. Opportunity knocks loud here!

LOT 439 S$1 1896 PCGS PR68 CAM CAC A dramatic looking, superb gem that is bordering on sheer perfection! Deep mirrors have a rich watery texture that really flashes in a light. The devices are deeply and sharply struck up from an exacting and precise strike. The reliefs are highly frosted, which contrast against the highly polished fields. A blush toning, relegated to the peripheral areas are original and highly attractive. The Philadelphia mint really got the right combination of frosting the reliefs and polishing the fields in the years 1894 to 1898 with these dates showing extreme contrast and ultra eye appeal. Only 762 proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 6, CAC 3. The other PCGS coin sold for $35,250 and it did not have the same eye appeal as the presently offered ultra GEM.

Struck in silver with a reeded edge on a planchet of post1853 weight (12.4 grams per NGC insert) suggesting a restrike status. Restrikes are regarded as R-5, and were produced sometime after 1858. The J-72 and the J-73 that follows are a personal favorite of the cataloger (GC). Exceptional quality, full beaming mirrors sparkle below rich toning in with coppery-orange in the centers and blue and purple at the rims.

Close examination of the surfacesshow an early state of the reverse die, suggesting that this wasan early restrike, before the die clashed, cracked and had to be lapped to remove those issues.

LOT 441 50C 1838 J-73. NGC PR66 CAC EX ERIC NEWMAN William Kneass’s Draped Bust design on the obverse combined with Christian Gobrecht’s interpretation of Titan Peale’s upward flying eagle on the reverse. A restrike struck in silver with a reeded edge, considered to be R-5. This is an issue that both the “originals” and “restrikes” are struck from a shattered reverse die. With its weight and medal turn die alignment, this one is considered a restrike. The quality of this coin is quite remarkable! First sold in April 2013 as part of a small selection of Eric Newman’s coins, this coin had been off the market for many, many years. The exceptionally struck devices stand out boldly from the superior quality water-like mirrored fields. Long term storage in Eric’s collector envelope (not included), imparted amber waves in the centers with rich cobalt blue at the peripheries. The reverse die shattered early on, and even originals struck in 1838 display them. By the time the restrikes were produced, likely in the mid-late 1850s (or later), the die cracks continued to grow. The present GEM has a great eye appeal, better than most known examples. Here is another early pattern issue that that has great “cross over” appeal with Bust Half Nuts, half dollar Collector’s, and pattern specialists. It is also a generally available design, making it a great pattern type coin. PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 2. As mentioned above, this coin appeared in a small selection of Eric Newman’s collection, sold in the 2013 CSNS sale, realizing $11,750. The only other CAC approved PR66 to sell was a PCGS coin that sold in the 2017 FUN auction for $12,925. The presently offered coin, with its excellent provenance has a better eye appeal overall, and would fit into any special cabinet of coins! The present cataloger (GC) has always loved this pattern, and based on its potential appeal to so many different types of Collector’s, at today’s level it just seems too undervalued!

LOT 450 50C 1877 J-1515. PCGS PR66 BN CAC A true prize for any collector--a GEM Morgan pattern half dollar. These very rare patterns have an appeal outside of the specialty, sometimes collected alongside advanced sets of Morgan dollars. Morgan’s Liberty facing left is framed by a beaded border and E PLURIBUS UNUM and stars around. The reverse shows a standing eagle, wings outstretched a cartouche with IN GOD WE TRUST and arrows and olive branch in his talons. Struck in copper with a reeded edge, this exceptionally rare pattern is rated as R-7+ (fewer than half a dozen estimated to be known). Richly toned copper surfaces are deeply reflective and show varying shades of brown, gold, and green hues. The obverse is razor sharp, some of the highest points of the central reverse devices are mostly complete with only slight weakness in the breast feathers. The eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. There are no records for this coin in auction. An NGC PR65 BN sold in October 2010 for $23,000 and a coin in ANR’s June 2005 auction, graded PR67 BN by NGC sold for a whopping $80,500, a coin that is now ensconced in the Bob Simpson Collection. This coin is the second finest example. There is a current value of $37,500 in CU, and the 10th edition of Judd lists a $42,000 value in PR65. This is a very important issue for any advanced collector and should sell for a strong price. Good luck! PCGS # 61853 | EST: $38,000+218

LOT 451 219 $1 1879 J-1615. PCGS PR67+ CAM CACA spectacular Morgan dollar pattern that is rarely seen, and this one is clearly one of the FINEST that exists! A regular issue proof obverse die was paired with a reverse of an eagle perched on an olive branch and arrows designed by William Barber. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, it is considered R-6-, with about 21-30 known in all states ofpreservation. This design was a proposal to replace the reverse on the then current Morgan dollar in response to criticism that the reverse eagle was too “scrawny.” The presently offered SUPERB GEM has bold cameo contrast between frosted reliefs and deep, watery mirrored fields. A classic blend of gold, violet, green, and blue hues fail to hide the impressive reflection of the flawless mirrors; the toning is especially impressive on the reverse. Only a sight weakness of strike, which is seen on all known examples appears on the highest central portions of the design. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC 1. PCGS does list two coins as PR68 CAM, but we think that it represents only one coin, the Wayne Miller-Bob Simpson coin, which is also the Plate Coin in the Judd reference. This impressive coin was NGC PR68 CAM, a coin that our sister company handled many years ago. TheseMorgan dollar patterns are a great side specialty for advanced Morgan dollar Collector’s who want to add something sexy to their sets. The presently offered GEM J-1615 certainly offers a TON of appeal and is bound for a world class cabinet! PCGS # 134101 | EST: $32,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM

LOT 452 50C 1915 J-1792/1962. PCGS PR67 RB Excessively rare pattern Pan-Pac half dollar struck in copper without the Smintmark. These were struck at the Philadelphia mint prior to the dies being sent to San Francisco for striking. Rated as Rarity-8 in the 10th Edition of the Judd reference, there are perhaps 3-4 examples currently known. Pleasing bronzed red/brown patination with some old minor flecks notedunder close inspection. Well struck and extremely eye appealing. Congress authorized an ambitious commemorative program celebrating the opening of the Panama Canal which was distributed by enterprising numismatist Farran Zerbe at the Panama Pacific Expo. The set contained a half dollar, gold dollar, a gold quarter eagle, and two $50 gold pieces. As the dieswere finished, some impressions were made in copper prior to the additionof the mintmark. Some believe that this was done for the benefit of Treasury Secretary William McAdoo who was a coin collector himself. PCGS 1, NGC 0. This is the absolute finest graded by either grading service, indeed NGC does not show a single listing in their Census. Thestunning Newman Collection coin is now in the Simpson collection of pattern coinage, and will be off the market for a long time.

LOT 454 223 25C 1883 HAWAII. PCGS PR67 CAM CAC We unhesitatingly call this amazing SUPERB GEM the FINEST KNOWN Hawaiian Quarter in Proof! It is a wonder that this coin survives in such a wonderful condition! Only 26 proofs were struck for VIPs at the time. Deep, watery mirrors beam from all over. The fields are icy smooth and remarkably clean, free of any hairlines, regardlessof how microscopic. A wonderful halo of blue and amber patina frames the obverse’s brilliant silver centers. The reverse isdraped in a dramatic cobalt and crimson toning throughout, and a twirl in the light reveals teal, gold, and violet hues that clearly sparkle. The sharply struck devices are extremely frosted and contrast against the heavily mirrored fields. The Kingdom of Hawaii did not become an official territory of the United States until 1898, but in 1883, King Kalakaua I commissioned the U.S. mint to strike a series of silver coins. Designed by William Barber, the obverse displays a portrait ofthe king facing left; the reverse shows the kingdom’s Arms. This series has multiple levels of appeal, including advanced U.S. type Collector’s, Territorial Collector’s, and since Hawaii was technically a separate kingdom, world coin Collector’s. PCGS 1, NGC 0, CAC. The only comparable example to ever sell in auction was the glorious NGC PR66* UCAM that was part of an original proof set sold in Stack’s November 2008 auction that sold for $43,125 (listed as a record price by PCGSCoinFacts).

The vibrance of the luster is suggestive of a full GEM grade, although under Thursday, October 26th DoubleTree | Philadelphia, PA close inspection, we do note a tiny mint made planchet flake and a light tick or two. The eye appeal is about as nice as you Thursday, December 14th. Caesars | Las Vegas, NV could hope for in a 64+ though. ............................................ PCGS 810, NGC 447, CAC 131.

LOT 475 $3 1885 PCGS MS64+ CAC A superb, essentially fully GEM caliber surfaces with full, prooflike reflectivity in the fields and frosted crisply struckdevices. The rich golden color is totally original and beautiful. Rotating this coin in a light, you do see orange peal texture in the fields, similar to that found on proofs of the era. Themintage of 801 pieces explains the bold prooflike allure of the presently offered $3 gold, as it was struck before the initial die polishing was able to wear off the dies. The eye appeal is exceptional and is better than some seen in higher grades.PCGS 29, NGC 16, CAC 9. Only three are graded MS64+, with 19 finer through MS67. No MS64+ has ever sold in auction.The most recent PCGS MS64 sold in August 2014 for $27,025 and a PCGS MS65 CAC sold for $$22,913 in our May 2016Regency Auction (this coin is flashier and just about as nice asthat one.

LOT 476 $5 1798 LARGE 8, 13 STAR REVERSE PCGS MS62 CAC A satiny and richly toned early $5. Pleasing orange-gold surfaces with amber accents show a wealth of original mint bloom that shows hints of reflectivity that boldly bring out the nicely struck design devices. With the aid of a high power glass a few light lines come into focus, but none distract the eye. BD-4, considered to be R-4+ with approximately 80-100 examples known in all grades and the presently offered example is tied with perhaps as many as nine examples for second finest graded. The reverse die shows a number of cuds at the upper rim, typical for this later die state. PCGS 10, NGC 7, CAC 5. Only a single CAC approved example has sold in auction, a BD-5 (which is slightly scarcer) which brought $51,750 in August 2011. A non-CAC coin sold in the 2016 ANA auction for $30,550 and that coin did not have the bold eye appeal of the presently offered coin. The PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $45,000. This coin should see very spirited bidding when it crosses the block. It would definitely offer a true pride of ownership for its next collector owner. PCGS # 8078 | EST: $37,500+238

LOT 477 239 $5 1823 PCGS MS63+ CAC Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to offer this VERY high-end classic early $5 design. It is a Type our sister company (Legend Numismatics) has chased all their careersowning no more than 4-5 total (all grades, different dates). The quality and ORIGINALITY of this coin are indisputable! To start, this BD-1 (rated R-4+), has a very clean and satinylook. Only with a strong glass can you find a few very light ticksand giggles (lines). A surprisingly strong luster (this coin does NOT glow like a later date) does show off pretty and totally ORIGINAL deeper yellow gold colors. There are NO spots ordiscolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have exceptional sharp strikes. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 5, NGC 3, CAC 3. This is the second MS63+ graded by PCGS. PCGS has graded only SIX coins higher after 30+ years of operations. It is critical to note that the last auction appearance was for a PCGS NON CAC MS63. That coin brought $48,175 in April 2015. We highly doubt the coin was of quality anywhere near this piece. The last MS64 to sell was back in 2014 and was also a NO CAC coin. The current Collector’s Universe Value is $66,000. yeah right-show us thePCGS CAC coins at that price (you won’t find any)! We cannot stress enough how RARE and fairly priced this magnificent piece really is. Good luck! PCGS # 8131 | EST: $60,000+ LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM

LOT 478 $5 1834 CLASSIC, PLAIN 4. PCGS MS64 CAC A glorious essentially GEM Classic Head $5! What a rare delight to be able to offer a stone bold original example of this type that usually does not come with any sort of eye appeal or in high grade. This coin has both! Brilliant golden orange coloration is enlivened by a bold original mint bloom. The devices are very well struck, showing full definition in Ms. Liberty’s hairlines and in the details of the eagle’s wing feathers. Aside from a stray line or two that you do need a strong loupe to see, there is nothing to mar the surfaces or distract the eye. The Classic Head series is a transitional type. The old tenor types (struck prior to 1834) by this point contained more value in precious metal than was stamped on the coin leading many of these coins to be be exported and melted for the specie. An act of Congress, passed in 1834 changed that--reducing the weight to prevent the export. It was a short series, lasting only until 1839 when Christian Gobrecht’s Coronet or Liberty Head series was introduced. It is a completable set, no one date is extremely rare (although some are condition rarities), and with patience can be completed--the challenge is to find coins that match this near-GEM’s stunning originality and high end eye appeal. PCGS 36, NGC 43, CAC 12. These do not appear in auction with any frequency; the last PCGS MS64 CAC to sell in auction was back in October 2011, where one sold for $25,300. Even without CAC approval, the last PCGS coin sold in April 2013 for $21,150. Only 10 coins are graded finer, and in MS65 and MS66, these are valued close to or over $100,000. This gorgeous MS64 presents any collector a great value! Good luck! PCGS # 8171 | EST: $23,000+240

LOT 479 $5 1855 PCGS MS64+ CAC How in the world does this coin even exist? 162 years old and it looks as good as new! We think a teeny tick or two are all that keep this coin from a GEM MS65 designation. The surfaces are exceptionally smooth and are pretty clean looking overall. A bold glowing luster enhances the bright gold colors. There are NO spots orstains anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. The eye appeal is fabulous! PCGS 2, NGC 6, CAC 2. PCGS claims to have graded 3 inMS64+. No MS64+ have ever seen sold at auction. PCGS andNGC have graded none finer. The current Collector’s UniverseValue is $25,000. With none ever selling, we call that price low. Just to give an idea of how rare this issue is, in 1995, the Ed Milas coin, graded MS64 NGC sold for $33,000! If you collectearlier $5 pieces, then you know how rare this date and grade really are! Opportunity knocks loud here! PCGS # 8261 | EST: $25,000+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 241

LOT 480 $5 1862 PCGS AU55 CAC A VERY RARE Civil War era $5. Much surviving mint frost can be seen in the fields and among the devices. Light friction in the fields and on the high points. Medium gold color is is pleasing and original--this coin is not the brightly dipped yellow gold so often seen on better date gold. As the Civil War raged, silver and gold coins disappeared from circulation, as hoarders held onto specie for security. As such, only 4,430 1862 half eagles were coined. A pretty neat bell curve of the graded population shows the peak in the XF-AU range. Very few are graded finer. David Akers wrote “I have seen one AU example but never a specimen with a legitimate claim to mint state.” PCGS 8, NGC 9, CAC 2. This is the highest grade approved by CAC, although both PCGS and NGC have graded a few coins higher (The finest known is the PCGS MS62 Bass coin.). The most recent example to sell in auction was a NON-CAC coin in May 2013 for $17,625. Before that coin appeared in auction, the last PCGS AU55 to sell in auction was back 1998! Clearly this is not a date or grade you will see with any frequency. A real prize for any Civil War era gold coin collector. PCGS # 8292 | EST: $13,000+242

LOT 481 243 $5 1863 PCGS AU55 An incredibly RARE Civil War half eagle. The Liberty Head $5 series is one of the longest running series in American numismatics, and is full of scarce and rare dates. There are some coin that are common in low grades, and in higher mint state grades, become rare. This date is a major rarity in all grades. This is among the 10 most elusive coins in the entire series and PCGS estimates a survival of 30-40 out of 2,442 coins struck. The fields display a bold, semi-PL reflective luster, and the devices are nice and frosty, creating a pleasing contrast. Wellstruck with full, crisp definition in all the details. As normally seenon PL gold, any little tick or mark is exaggerated. The high point rub or friction is very minor, and this exceptional coin is quite nice for the assigned grade. You are going to be hard pressed to find anything comparable in the current market. PCGS 4, NGC 5. As you can tell from the population report examples DO NOT appear at auction with any frequency. The last PCGS-graded AU55 sold in June 2003, making that APR useless in figuring the current market value. In the 2017 FUN auction, an NGC coin brought a hair under $20,000. Last year, a PCGS AU58 sold in September 2016 for $35,250. A coin that will please any advanced gold or Civil War era specialist. An amazing opportunity not to be taken lightly!

A non-CAC coin sold in the 2015 FUN auction for $18,213. The current CU value is $24,500. It is important to note that for all dates combined, PCGS has graded 67 examples in MS66 or MS66+, so if you are working on a MS66 gold type set, this is going to likely be the hardest type to get in 66, and this date is likely the one you will end up with. The presently offered coin is bound for a fine set. PCGS # 8510 | EST: $16,000+LEGENDAUCTIONS.COM 245

LOT 487 $5 1909-O NGC MS62 As the final coin from the New Orleans mint and the only $5 Indian from this mint, it would likely always be popular, even if the mintage was higher than the only 34,200 that were originally struck. Rare in mint state, most coins known are in the MS61 and 62 grades, and exceptionally rare and very expensive any finer. The present, medium gold example has a few teeny marks and lines which account for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is wonderful overall and should attract attention from any collector of 20th century gold or specialists in New Orleans mint issues. PCGS 29, NGC 29. The last NGC-graded example to sell in auction realized $56,400 in May 2013óthat is four years ago. Clearly these do not appear in auction with any real frequency. There are only 16 coins graded finer at NGC, and in 2015 an NGC MS62+ CAC sold for $64,625; the finest is at NGC MS65.

LOT 491 $10 1844 PCGS AU55 A very rare and underrated $10! Very nicely struck devices stand out against the semi-reflective satiny surfaces. Accents of coppery-orange can be seen on the reverse rim. Typical of $10 gold from the era, the surfaces are lightly abraded from a brief stay in circulation. Both sides show some tiny scuffs but none detract from the overall eye appeal. Only 6,361 examples were originally struck, which is the second lowest mintage between 1839 and 1857. Perhaps 50-75 examples survive and both David Akers and Doug Winteragree that in AU grades, this date is extremely rare, with the latter opining: “I believe that there are fewer than ten properly graded AU examples known, with most in the AU50-53 range.” PCGS 3, NGC 6. PCGS has graded a single coin finer, an AU58. The most recent PCGS AU55 to sell in auction realized $14,100 in September 2015; before that, this one sold in the in our May 2014 Regency Auction VII, where it realized $19,975 on a $15,000+estimate.

REPUBLIC In his major reference on U.S. Gold Coins, David Akers wrote: “...the1846 is a grossly underrated date...It is not easy to locate an 1846 Eagle in any condition, and almost all... are only VF or EF...In fact, I have seen only one that I graded AU.” It was not until the recovery of theS.S. Republic that six AU examples were discovered. Today, these are still very rare coins, and the typically seen coin still grades EF or lower. Only 20,095 $10s werestruck and the vast majority of them disappeared into commercial channels, and few were saved for posterity. Even the example in the Smithonian’s National Numismatic Collection is only an AU. The presently offered coin has a bold, FULL strike with matte-like luster from exposure to the salt water for allthose years. The eye appeal is superb for a shipwreck coin, and clearly within the condition census for the date. Adding to its desirability is the coveted green bean from CAC, attesting to its quality. PCGS 7, NGC 12, CAC 2. Thanks to gradeflation, some of those coins that Akers called EF are now in AU holders, and in efforts of obtaining a higher grade, coins have been submitted multiple times. The presently offered coin is being sold in the ORIGINAL NGC holder with the shipwreck label. Worthy of a fine set of $10 Libs or any cabinet of shipwreck relics.
